Kooking with ThatGuy

Well it’s been two weeks since my last post (this is looking like par for the course as of late) and again not much to report:

Melinda was kind enough to visit me, which was great because I really needed some human interaction. This life as a hermit is getting old fast and I have no one but myself to blame. Damn this shyness of mine. But Melinda’s visit was short - too short - actually just long enough to get me sick.

So now that I’ve got a sore throat, I’ve been trying to consume as much vitamin C as possible and as much fluids as possible. In fact I went and decided to go ahead and make myself some wanton soup. Now a normal person would have gone to the grocery store and just bought some frozen wontons. Actually a normal person would have just gotten some take out. I on the other hand decided to make the wontons by hand. It tastes great, maybe better than in a Chinese restaurant, but damn it, 45 minutes to make 34 wontons - never again.

My recent illness however hasn’t kept me locked up in my apartment. On the contrary, I started running on Saturday. I didn’t go for very long, but I’m supposed to start slow right? Anyway, I wanted to go running again today, but I went hiking earlier and now my legs hurt like hell. Incidentally, this is what I saw at the top. Funny thing though, on my way down the hill I saw a woman with a hand rat. I was impressed with the fact that she wasn’t carrying it. It was hiking up the hill on its own, albeit short, legs. For some reason this got me thinking about my brother’s girlfriend’s sister’s rat dog. The little guy would scream in pain as it went up a flight of stairs (as it slammed its wiener on each and every step). But it didn’t keep him from reaching the second floor. Maybe there’s a lesson it that. Maybe I should go running despite my leg pain. Or maybe the dog was just really stupid.

I think I’ll go read a book…

Oh almost forgot...I've got a project I'm working on (not work related) so I might not post anything for a while (maybe 2-4 weeks).
